Poem by Staff Sgt Mairon Klute, USMC
BS Google
"The Littles"
They told me to be big when I was
actually little, they said, "dont cry,
act your age, youre a big boy!"
Then they stuck me with a war unwinable
And I found other littles trying to be big
Then we came back looking very big and feeling
very little
and were put under a microscope.
And years went by and we were classified and
labeled and filed away
to work and raise families
And anesthetize.
Staff Sgt, Mairon Klute, USMC / 1995
